Mod Notes
Welcome to May, Hollowites! We hope that spring has been treating everyone well!

After a difficult start to the year, and the Opera event taking center stage in a busy time in many players' lives, we opted to have April be event-free, to allow everyone time to focus on their existing threads. This month, we have more up our sleeves, including an event in collaboration with one of our players, so keep an eye out for that!

Here's our mod notes for the month:

Small Clarification for AC

We've been asked to clarify a quick point for Activity Check for characters played by the same player!

For a thread only between two characters played by the same person, sorted into a reply-based format for ease of reading or writing, this cannot be submitted to claim AC bonus. However, if a thread has two characters of one player, and another character from a second player, that is valid to be claimed on AC for both players! We ask that the player of the two characters only submits this for one bonus.

Let us know if there are any additional questions on this!
